Supersymmetry may have not been discovered at CERN, but Tamara Kohler, a @UCLQuantum alumna, used supersymmetric quantum mechanics to prove that an interesting problem used in data analysis called clique homology, is difficult to solve on a quantum computer. #IfQ2023

@mjd1735 @TimLaheyMD @pkedrosky @nntaleb ..for knowledge that drives us alone (?) to enquire about the nature of the stars, or our own thinking... and that allowed us to attain results like the incompleteness theorems and quantum mechanics.

@mjd1735 @TimLaheyMD @pkedrosky @nntaleb ...making the ground clean of much confusion by eroding single tasks human supremacy, or maybe thanks to that, they have brought to the center the question of how intelligences emerge in nature, and how the and their substrates sustain the differences in achievements and desire..

@mjd1735 @TimLaheyMD @pkedrosky @nntaleb ...would you give it a Nobel prize? Would it be in Economics? Or in Medicine? (it has been so influential that even naming conventions have been affected by its use https://t.co/AyP5XOb7Qb ) But the prize for MS Excel or AlphaFold 2 would still be to the people who made the tool

[Marco Manca @markomanka]

@mjd1735 @TimLaheyMD @pkedrosky @nntaleb We spoke of AlphaFold 2 back then, and I agree it is a nice tool. My ideas, as I shared already, are in line with the opinions expressed here https://t.co/XrEKf9cdC8 MS Excel is a tool which has been revolutionary, and despite my contempt for it we wouldn't be here without it...

[Marco Manca @markomanka]

@mjd1735 @Petitoursonnes @EdwardGLuce May I also stress that in the proposed reasoning there is a dangerous conflation/confusion of quantum mechanics with one specific interpretation of the same, exploited to make a sensationalistic (yet, I insist, of no real meaning) claim? https://t.co/9U6sCQZUqH

[Marco Manca @markomanka]

@mjd1735 @Petitoursonnes @EdwardGLuce I struggle to find a constructive feedback for this statement. The same loose speculation about the consequences of measurements/observations can be offered about bacteria, equally with no appreciable value. What "alter the fabric of reality" means is beyond me. Uninteresting.

New research shows that giving better healthcare to low-income mothers has cascading effects across generations—improving health outcomes not only for them and their children, but for their grandchildren too!

The great Paul Embrechts w/collaborators just proved the dominance of 1/n under v. fat tails, something I didn't realize was never proved.

The proof is along the lines of the inequality quizzes of the late Alexander Bogomolny, bless his memory.
